@russbgrant You can DM me the link if you like.

@77leon77 The PS4 and the PS5 are very different devices, even if they’re in the same family line. You can try sending a small cut of the problematic media to me if you like. See [Generating Sample Files from Media | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201035968-generating-sample-files-from-media/).
